Free Fifty Years Ago. — There was a great flocking into the army and navy on the part of all classes — from the public schoolboy, the prince of the field, to the troublesome cottage lad, who sooner or later went fora soldier, or ranofftosea, wept by his mother, and by no means regretted by the neighborhood. There was a great deal of smuggling in those days, and much more poaching. There was a good deal of noting occasionally — breaking of ihresh-ing-rmichines in agricultural counties, and of powerlooms in the manufacturing districts ; but a commoner safety valve was poaching. There was less netting and snaring of game than now, and more >-hooting. This was part of the tempta tion. It is now the great temptation to the slaughter of small birds of which we are complaining under our present plague of slugs, caterpillars and wire-worms. Not only boys but men like the excuse of popping off guns ; and hence the extirpation lif many useful birds which we may never see restored. If the villiage butts and universal archery of old England had existed now, or if we now had the general practice with weapons which another generation will see, our small birds would at this moment have been devouring the moderate quantity of caterpillars, which would have made their appearance. — Once a Week.
